Abstract(s)
Este projeto parte da análise dos arquivos e registos efetuados sobre a pratica
do skate em Aveiro e pela sua comunidade, pratica amplamente conhecida em Portugal.
Como fotógrafo, praticante de skate e membro ativo desta comunidade, proponho a
criação de uma narrativa visual, em formato de fotolivro, reunindo as memórias deste
coletivo, apresentando uma coleção de imagens dos últimos 30 anos desta prática.
Através do recurso às minhas imagens em combinação com imagens de arquivo
(fotografias, video, revistas e memórias transcritas) pretendo, de uma forma
colaborativa, evidenciar não só aspetos em torno do exercício de uma prática desportiva,
mas, sobretudo, as implicações em virtude dos usos e apropriações dos espaços urbanos,
interações sociais e experiências por parte dos seus praticantes.
De uma forma mais ampla, vislumbra—se a vontade de revelar como a cidade
pode ser lida e ordenada simbolicamente através de um olhar Skater, revelando também
as suas conexões não só com a cidade, mas também como a evolução da cultura visual,
urbana, musical, tecnológica e as próprias mentalidades. Desse modo, espera—se que este
fotolivro possa relacionar distintos recortes das representações visuais no universo do
skate aveirense, construido a partir de discursos, práticas e narrativas expressas pela
comunidade. Partindo do entendimento da fotografia como principal ferramenta de
registo documental e construção da memória, (na qual a prática do skate sempre se
apoiou), esta pesquisa pretende explorar a forma como a fotografia influencia a perceção
da história do skate e nos convida a sua participação (ora como praticante, ora como
observador). O maior objetivo é colecionar a história e narrativas visuais em torno desta
subcultura na cidade de Aveiro ou pelos skaters aveirenses, uma das cidades mais
influentes no skate nacional vertido num fotolivro, inédito em Portugal.
This project starts from the analysis of files and records made about the practice of Skateboarding in Aveiro and by its community, a practice widely known in Portugal. As a photographer, skater and active member of this community, I propose the creation of a visual narrative, in photobook format, bringing together the memories of this collective, presenting a collection of images from the last 30 years of this practice. Through the use of my images in combination with archival images (photographs, video, magazines and transcribed memories) I intend, in a collaborative way, to highlight not only aspects around the exercise of a sport practice, but, above all, the implications of the uses and appropriations of urban spaces, social interactions and experiences on the part of its practitioners. More broadly, there is a desire to reveal how the city can be read and symbolically ordered through a skaterlook, also revealing its connections not only with the city, but also with the evolution of visual, urban, musical, technological and mentalities themselves. Thus, it is expected that this photobook can relate different clippings of visual representations in the aveirense skateboard universe, built from discourses, practices and narratives expressed by the community. Starting from the understanding of Photography as the main tool for documental recording and memory construction, (on which the practice of Skateboarding has always relied), this research aims to explore how photography influences the perception of the history of skateboarding and invites us to participate (sometimes as a practitioner, sometimes as an observer). The main objective is to collect the history and visual narratives around this subculture in the city of Aveiro or by skaters from Aveiro, one of the most influential cities in national Skateboarding translated into a photobook, unpublished in Portugal.
